“He wrote, that he was just released from a penal cell, it which he had spent 20 days. The violation for which they punished him was that he refused to clean a toilet. It is the first time that he is punished with a penal cell for this violation, it happened last summer too. Well, when they want to send him to a penal cell, they oblige him to lean a toilet. He refused – there is a reason”, - the woman reported to Radio Svaboda.
